ON THE SET: Freema Agyeman & AnnaSophia Robb Kick Off "The Carrie Diaries"

Posted: 26 Mar 2012 09:50 AM PDT

Take 1! The cast of "The Carrie Diaries" just started shooting the brand new CW series in NYC.  And YBF actress Freema Agyeman was spotted on the set with the young Carrie Bradshaw, AnnaSophia Robb.

 

Pics inside of the fashion you can expect from the "Sex & The City" prequel...

 

"The Carrie Diaries" is based on Candace Bushnell's novel which follows Carrie Bradshaw--pre Sex & The City days--during her senior year of high school in the 80's.  And also follows her into her early writing career in NYC.

Freeman snagged the role of Larissa, a hip, cutting-edge editor/party girl who works at Interview magazine and is Carrie's mentor.

First pics of the ladies on set in their colorful 80's wardrobe:

The ladies filmed outside one of Carrie's fave Manhattan shopping spots--Century 21.

Vladislav Doronin's Wife SAYS Naomi Campbell Is The REASON For Pending Divorce!?

Posted: 26 Mar 2012 09:11 AM PDT

Though Vladislav Doronin and Naomi Campbell have previously claimed that his longtime estranged wife was cool with their relationship, the "soon-to-be-ex" Ekaterina, is crying foul and BLAMING Naomi for their pending divorce! Get the deets inside....

Vladislav Doronin's estranged wife, Ekaterina, claims that Naomi Campbell is the reason that she and her husband are divorcing. But wait.....before you side with Ekaterina, it's important to note that the couple had been separated for almost 10 years BEFORE Naomi and Vladislav even started dating!

Maybe Ekaterina and her lawyer think painting her as the jilted wife will get more money in a settlement.  The billionaire businessmen has been dubbed the "Russian Donald Trump" amongst the business world.  Hmmmm....

By the way, before Naomi enterdt the picture, Vladislav had a seven year relationship with another woman (and Ekaterina didn't have a problem with that).

A friend close to the situation said,

‘Naomi is pleased that Ekaterina has finally agreed to give Vladislav a divorce, but she is upset she is planning on blaming her for the marriage breakdown. She is no homewrecker,’ says a friend. ‘The truth is that Vladislav had been separated from her for a very long time when he and Naomi got together.’

But Ekaterina, who has been married to 49-year-old property mogul Vladislav for 24 years (they have a daughter, Katia, 15) reportedly said recently,

‘It’s a ridiculous affair. Vladislav is married to me and we are still a couple. Naomi is deluding herself if she thinks she can take my husband.’

Oy...

Watch Vlad and Naomi discuss his "marriage" with Oprah back in 2010 at the (2:49) mark:

 

MUSIC FAB: Azealia Banks' “F*ck Up the Fun” + Trey Songz "Heart Attack" + Usher PLAYING Sugar Ray Leonard In "Hands Of Stone"

Posted: 26 Mar 2012 08:34 AM PDT

Azealia Banks just dropped a new track called "F*ck Up The Fun."  Listen inside (plus watch her perform it at a Chanel party in Japan last night) as well as "Heart Attack" by Trey Songz and get the deets on Usher's next film project.

 

Harlem-bred "212" rapper Azealia Banks has a gritty track for the streets called "F*ck Up The Fun," which she debuted at the Chanel pop-up store in Japan.

Listen to the track here:

Apparently Karl Lagerfield has made her his new go-to girl for Chanel performances.  Watch Azealia perform it at the Chanel pop-up store in Japan below:

 

Also in music......

Trey Songz has released the first single off his upcoming fifth album Chapter V.  The track was produced by Benny Blanco and Rico Love.

Listen to "Heart Attack" below:

 

 

BONUS:

Usher will star as boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard in a new film about the athlete called Hands of Stone.

He told the UK's BBC News,"I'm in preparation for a very incredible role.  If you guys see me running around London, that's what it is."

But that's not all the busy guy is up to.  He also revealed, "I'm doing [the film] while working on this album." 

Laura Govan Hits Up The Memphis Grizzlies Game--Her Fiance Gilbert Arenas' NEW Team Home

Posted: 26 Mar 2012 07:56 AM PDT

 

Laura Govan was spotted rocking a sour face at last night's Memphis Grizzlies game as her "fiance" Gilbert Arenas played against the Lakers after getting waived by the Orlando Magic. Perhaps the news about his much smaller salary has her in the dumps.  Deets inside.....

 

Laura Govan of "Basketball Wiives: LA" was spotted at the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Memphis Grizzlies at the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles yesterday.

Laura didn't look too happy to be at the game....maybe it's because along with Gilbert's very recent signing with the Grizzlies (from Orlando), he had to accept a major paycut.  But don't fret too much.  Thanks to an amnesty clause, the NBA website says Arenas will receive his full umpteen million salary from the Magic as scheduled, but the Magic will "have 100% of the player's salary removed from the team salary for Cap and Tax purposes,"

The 10-year vet signed a one-year contract for the veteran’s minimum. Memphis will also pay him a prorated salary worth about $300,000. 

It's still good money in the big scheme of things.  But there will be fewer Birkins bought during Christmas time. Womp.

BONUS: Laura was all smiles in her sparkly Sergio Rossi lace rhinestone bootie courtside at Saturday's game against the Clippers though:

MELLOW YELLOW: Willow Smith Pulls ANOTHER Hair Change Up!

Posted: 25 Mar 2012 02:13 PM PDT

Willow Smith is indeed trying out every color in the rainbow atop her head.  The 11-year-old singer/dancer/celebuspawn was spotted out flaunting her new hair while shopping at The Grove in L.A. yesterday.

 

Pics of Willow holding hands and shopping with a friend inside...

Willow flashed a bit of her new bright yellow hair color under her black hat while out shopping yesterday.  The tween hit The Grove in L.A. as she shopped it up with a friend:

Willow spent another day of shopping in Calabassas and another in Santa Monica both earlier last week.  Must be nice...

 

The Randomness:

1.  Reports say the Feds are garnishing wages fom Nas to pay off his $6 Million tax delinquency debit.  Damn homie! STORY

2. Mo'Nique and husband Sidney's landlords are accusing the couple of smoking too much weed in their house--the same one they refuse to pay rent on ($22K/month) b/c they claim conditions are "deplorable." STORY

3.  Dame Dash is getting sued again...this time by rapper Curren$y for $1.5 milli.  Curen$y claims Dame was selling music he had no rights to sell....and their deal never materialized anyway.  STORY
